Chicago Blackhawks vs. Vancouver Canucks (9ET)

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS 
GAME ONE

The young Chicago Blackhawks look to continue their somewhat improbable run against an experianced Vancouver Canucks team. In the first round, the Blackhawks took care of the Calgary Flames in a physical six game series. On the other hand, the Canucks took care of the St. Louis Blues in four games and have not played for more then a week and a half.  This long and extended time off could either be a blessing in disguise or could leave the Canucks feeling rusty. Look for rookies Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane to have strong games. Canucks goalie, Roberto Luongo, will be a formidable foe between the goal posts. Can the Cinderella run continue for the young and inexperienced Chicago Blackhawks?
